Episode 44 is the first of three episodes that marks the end of the 'Clow Card' Arc of the Cardcaptor Sakura saga. In this particular episode, Sakura, Syaoran and Tomoyo head to Shiba Park to watch Yukito compete in an archery tournament. Miss Mizuki, Sakura's teacher, is also there as a competitor. After sensing a strong presence during the finals of the competition, Miss Mizuki loses her concentration and the match to Yukito. Of course, as with Mizuki's other appearances in the anime, she's not just at the park for a day of relaxation. Mizuki knows that the Final Judgment is about to occur.

I don't think I could ever ask for a nicer cel of the Snow Bunny (the kanjii for Yukito's name means 'Snow Rabbit'), so, he'll be ending my 'Year of the Bunny' update. This is one of my more favorite wins from the now-defunct auction website, Anicyo. Too bad I had to wait almost 3 years until the matching douga came up for sale...
